Not sure what to say?

You are never forgotten, Joan. A great woman who did so much for so many.

I'll never forget you, Joan, thanks again for the opportunities and inspiration you bestowed upon me years ago, still paying dividends to this day.

I am posting again because Joan is unforgettable. She played a major role in my professional success. I will never forget you, Joan!

Bob and Family, may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bob, and family,
Matt and I are saddened by the news of Joan, and our hearts are heavy for you during this tragic and difficult time. We were traveling and could not be there in person to comfort you and lend support. Know that we are thinking about you every day. Love, Dar & Matt

Joan Minchak had a heart of gold, while running a company, that alone made her a truly exceptional person, whom I had the pleasure of working with.
Remember Joan as she was in life, not as you saw her last at the funeral home, and remember her the way she lived.
As long as you keep Joan in your hearts, she will have the love of all of you, and Joan will live on forever in the hearts of each of you.
Our Sympathy to her family, - we were doing what Joan loved...

My gosh prayers to you and your family... Im so sorry....this is heartbreaking... May god strengthen all of you at this time..

Joan was a true gem, she inspired us all with her drive & tenacity. She made an empire with her "JB" branding, and brought her visions to life. She was ambitious, had a genuine drive, and sass about her. Her artistically beautiful soul, beamed from within, and it radiated through her. She was one of the toughest people to work for; however, it was merely because she wanted the best for you, and wanted to make you see your own worth. She made friends everywhere she went, she would do...

Sending Thoughts & Prayers to Joan's Family.
